   > No, not Africa or India (though he did visit Kolkata, India in 1990 to   
   attend the wedding of the son of Purna Das Baul, with whom Dylan had recorded   
   in 1967 for the album John Wesley Harding). However, Ed Ricardo's 1997 comment   
   that "Bob Dylan plays    
   Germany, but never Russia or Lithuania" was superseded in 2008, when Dylan   
   played Vilnius, Lithuania on June 5th and St. Petersburg, Russia on June 8th.   
      
   Yes, one of the three guys on the cover of John Wesley Harding... Dylan   
   recorded them?
